Scout report
M. Stroeykens is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Anderlecht, rated 51.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 162nd of 311 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League and 1070th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stroeykens.
Judged on this season alone, Stroeykens graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.122 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 19th of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League. At 21 Stroeykens is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 14.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Anderlecht finished 4th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.1, Stroeykens carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Jupiler Pro League of 29 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
